MicroRNA-27a controls the intracellular survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by regulating calcium-associated autophagy

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) kills millions every year, and there is urgent need to develop novel anti-TB agents due to the fast-growing of drug-resistant TB. Although autophagy regulates the intracellular survival of Mtb, the role of calcium (Ca2+) signaling in modulating autophagy during Mtb infection remains largely unknown. Here, we show that microRNA miR-27a is...
